Plot Batman Logo in Google Search and Wolfram Alpha

While researching for the article "Use Google Search to Plot Heart Shaped Graphs", I came to know an interesting equation called the "Batman Curve" (sometimes referred as "Batman Equation" or "Batman Function"). According to Wolfram MathWorld, "The Batman Curve is a piecewise curve in the shape of the logo of the Batman superhero originally posted on reddit.com on Jul. 28, 2011"

Last year when Google added graphing functionality on Google Search, many people asked, "Is it possible to plot Batman Equation in Google Search too?". Many pundits argued that it is not as the graphing tool is not advanced enough to handle such a heavy duty equation.

Bad news for the pundits and good news for the rest of us : A guy named Roland Mieslinger has been able to figure out how to plot this seemingly impossible equation in Google Search.

Type the following functions in Google Search bar :

2 sqrt(-abs(abs(x)-1)*abs(3-abs(x))/((abs(x)-1)*(3-abs(x))))(1+abs(abs(x)-3)/(abs(x)-3))sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)+(5+0.97(abs(x-.5)+abs(x+.5))-3(abs(x-.75)+abs(x+.75)))(1+abs(1-abs(x))/(1-abs(x))),-3sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)sqrt(abs(abs(x)-4)/(abs(x)-4)),abs(x/2)-0.0913722(x^2)-3+sqrt(1-(abs(abs(x)-2)-1)^2),(2.71052+(1.5-.5abs(x))-1.35526sqrt(4-(abs(x)-1)^2))sqrt(abs(abs(x)-1)/(abs(x)-1))+0.9

  2. I too have developed an equation, what it lacks in grace, it makes up for in insight:
